Marinate the Fish: Brush the tilapia fillets with the marinade on both sides and let them sit for 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Air Fry the Tilapia: Place the marinated tilapia fillets in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Garnish and Serve: Remove the tilapia from the air fryer and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes.
Prepare the Breading: In a shallow dish, mix the panko breadcrumbs, cornmeal, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Bread the Fish: Dip each fish fillet in the beaten egg, then coat with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
Air Fry the Fish: Place the breaded fish fillets in the air fryer basket. Cook for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the fish is golden and crispy.
